The Renewed Hope Ambassadors National Media Team has commended the Benue and Nasarawa state governments for accelerating infrastructure development, attributing the growing pace of projects in the two states to increased federal allocations and the fiscal space created by the reforms of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The team, which recently concluded an inspection tour of major infrastructure projects in both states, said the developments witnessed across Benue and Nasarawa demonstrated the impact of ongoing reforms on sub-national governments.
Speaking with journalists at one of the inspection sites, the Director of Media and Publicity of the team, Mr Tunde Rahman, said the tour provided evidence of significant investments in roads, bridges, healthcare and other critical infrastructure.
Rahman said the projects inspected included iconic road projects and bridges executed by both the federal and state governments, as well as interventions in the healthcare sector.
«“We have actually come to the end of our inspection tour of Benue and Nasarawa States and we have seen iconic road projects, we have seen bridges both by the federal government and the state governments and we have seen interventions in healthcare,” he said.»
According to him, the projects are among the gains of the economic reforms introduced by the Tinubu administration, noting that the initial challenges associated with the reforms had gradually given way to tangible benefits.
He said the governors of Nasarawa and Benue states, Abdullahi Sule and Hyacinth Alia respectively, had acknowledged that increased federal resources and greater fiscal space enabled their administrations to undertake major infrastructure projects.
Rahman said the scale of construction activities witnessed in the two states was evidence of the impact of the reforms on state-level development.
“From about Wednesday till now, somebody said in Nasarawa that Governor Abdullahi Sule has turned Nasarawa to a construction yard. Same with Governor Alia of Benue State,” he said.
He added that the infrastructure projects inspected were helping to renew the hopes of citizens while supporting economic activities and improving the quality of life across the two states.
Rahman dismissed criticisms from opposition groups that the Tinubu administration had not achieved significant results, urging Nigerians to assess the administration based on visible projects and reforms.
“Seeing is believing. You have seen for yourself,” he said.
The Renewed Hope Ambassadors media director also called on Nigerians to consider the administration's achievements when making their voting decisions in the 2027 general elections.
He argued that the reforms implemented during Tinubu's first term had created opportunities for states to undertake more development projects and urged Nigerians to support the continuation of the administration's programmes.
“You know that anybody that has done well deserves to come back again. Mr. President has done well during this first term and he deserves to be re-elected in order to continue the work that he has done,” Rahman said.
He urged Nigerians to examine the administration's achievements and allow its performance to guide their decisions at the polls.
The inspection tour covered major infrastructure projects across Benue and Nasarawa states, with the team highlighting investments in road construction, bridges, healthcare and other areas of public infrastructure.
